Will I miss something I should know about?

Local emergency alerts from official sources stay visible. National crime cycles — the kind that don't affect you directly — get muted.

Does it cover podcasts?

It hides true-crime podcast thumbnails and recommendations on YouTube and Spotify Web. Your subscriptions are untouched.

Can I temporarily unmute?

Yes — a one-tap '24-hour unmute' lets you follow a specific story, then re-enables the filter automatically.

Crime stories

A feed without true crime, missing-persons and court coverage

SanityMode hides crime stories, court live-blogs and missing-persons coverage by default — so you can read the news without spending the afternoon imagining the worst.

The pattern

You read one crime story and now you're locking your doors twice.
True-crime thumbnails keep showing up on YouTube even when you don't watch them.
Court live-blogs eat your entire afternoon.

What SanityMode does

Crime keywords muted

Words like 'arrest', 'verdict', 'trial', 'suspect' and 'remains' get filtered out of news headlines and social posts.

True-crime thumbnails hidden

YouTube and Reddit thumbnails tagged true-crime stop appearing in your recommendations and home feeds.

Local-safety still works

Genuinely useful local alerts (weather, road closures, public-safety) come through; sensational coverage doesn't.

Doomscrolling

SanityMode quietly removes the doom headlines, infinite feeds and refresh-bait UI that pull you into hour-long scroll spirals — on the sites you already use.

Anxiety

SanityMode blurs shocking imagery and mutes fear-bait keywords so a quick check-in doesn't turn into an hour of dread, racing thoughts or that tight-chest feeling.

Health scares

SanityMode mutes 'this common food might kill you' style health headlines and softens medical scare coverage — so a quick scroll doesn't end with you Googling symptoms at 1am.

War & conflict

SanityMode lets you dial down war and conflict coverage — from 'see everything' to 'one daily summary' to 'hide entirely' — so you can stay informed without living inside it.
